This was an image that Junichi Masuda featured in a press conference for the Pokemon Go reveal from the Pokemon YT channel (I forgot at what timestamp though near the end). If anyone looks carefully, they only noted the pair games that started a "new generation" of Pokemon with Red/Green (Japan), Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire, Diamond/Pearl, Black/White, and X/Y. None of the sister games, remakes, or third games of Pokemon like Yellow, Platinum, HGSS, etc are featured on this list but instead the year "2016" has a larger text compared to the other years that correlate to the release of those games. Maybe this was Game Freak's way of saying there will be a new game for 2016 and it might very well be Gen 7, or they could just redefine what a "generation" is by going with a revamp of Gen 6.

Redefining what a "generation" is by going with a revamp of Gen 6 would, in my opinion, be awesome. It would have to be a pretty dramatic revamp, however, because no one wants a slightly updated version of XY.

Although I don't want to assume things, I think it's pretty safe to say that we're not getting a Gen 7 this year. With Pokken Tournament, Pokémon GO, and now all the Zygarde forms and new Pokémon they revealed yesterday that ties into Gen 6, I think the Pokémon Company has enough on their plates.
